Welfare and behaviour implications of virtual fencing in Northern beef cow-calf systems

This project will investigate use of virtual fencing in northern Australian beef production. The expected outcomes will improve knowledge on efficacy, and implications for animal behaviour and welfare of using virtual fencing in northern cow-calf systems. This research will potentially improve land management in pastoral systems.  

Strategic silage use for productivity and sustainability in Northern Territory beef systems

This project will develop economically and sustainability optimised silage feeding strategies for northern beef producers. The expected outcome is to combine feeding trials on commercial properties in the NT with economic and sustainability modelling to develop improved silage feeding strategies. This project will allow data-driven decision making by northern cattle producers to optimise feeding strategies for better economic and sustainability outcomes.
